Converting some or all CSS port networks to IP-PNC
Adding new circuit packs
This section describes the following procedures:
Installing the new circuit packs
●
Adding cables for the new circuit packs
●
Administering the new circuit packs
●
Note:
For more information about how to install circuit packs, see Adding New
Note:
Hardware — Avaya S8500 and S8700-series Media Servers (555-245-212).
Each IP-PNC port network must have a TN2312BP (IPSI) circuit pack and at least one media
processor circuit pack. You must add these circuit packs to each PN that does not already have
them. The media processor circuit packs can be either the TN2602AP IP Media Resource 320
or the TN2302AP IP Media Processor. The TN2602AP circuit pack provides higher capacities
and allows for future duplication of the bearer PNC.
You can install additional media processors to increase capacity. However, you can install no
more than two TN2602 circuit packs in a PN. The need for additional media processor circuit
pack depends on system configuration parameters such as the number of IP endpoints.
Note:
No other media processor circuit packs can be used for PNC duplication in
Note:
Communication Manager release 3.1.
Depending on the system configuration, additional CLAN circuit packs (TN799DP) might also
be needed. CLAN circuit packs (TN799DP) are required if the system supports IP endpoints,
H.248 gateways, or other IP adjuncts. The number of CLAN circuit packs that you need
depends on system parameters such as the number of IP endpoints and the desired level of
availability.

Important:
If the final configuration mixes fiber-PNC PNs and IP-PNC PNs, at least one PN
Important:
in the fiber-PNC portion of the system must have both of the following circuit
packs:
- A TN570 EI circuit pack
- Either a TN2302 or a TN2602AP media processor circuit pack
This PN acts as the "gateway port network."
